Document for the Medal Liberation of Prague, issued to Guards Major Ivan Grigorvevich Patoka, dated May 7 1946 by the Commander of the 42nd Guards Heavy Tank Regiment Guards Lieutenant Colonel (???) , Serial # A125845
The stamp says: управление 42 Independant Guards Smolensk Red Banner Heavy Tank Brigade.

Document for the Victory over Germany medal, issued to Guards Major Ivan Grigorvevich Patoka, dated 20 February 1946 by the Commander of the 42nd Guards Smolensk Red Banner Heavy Tank Brigade Guards Lieutenant Colonel (???), Serial # I0273332.

I just need help with the name of the commander and I can't figure out what управление means in the stamp title so any help will be much appreciated!

Guards Major Patoka earned quite some awards during his wartime carreer. He got an Order of Red Star in 1943, a Bravery medal in 1943, an OPW II in 1944, an OPW I in 1945 and in the postwar years he was awarded a Medal for Combat Merit and an Order of Red Star, both for long-service.

I would translate "Управление" as "Administrative Office" or "Management Office" of the 42nd Separate Guards Heavy Tank Smolensk Red Banner, Orders of Suvorov, Bogdan Khmelnitsky, Red Star Brigade (42-я отдельная гвардейская тяжелая танковая Смоленская Краснознаменная, орденов Суворова, Богдана Хмельницкого, Красной Звезды бригада). I am unable to make out the Lieutenant-Colonel's name on either document.

I need some help with this Temporary document for the Medal Liberation of Prague. It is awarded to chauffeur Telichko Maksim Ivanovich from the 125 Red Banner Kutozov Rifle Division, the stamp is from the 223 Independant Automobile Recovery and Repair Batallion.
The document is signed by two officers, the first one is the Commander of the 223 Independant Automobile Recovery and Repair Batallion (???)-Major Kobalchyk.
The second one I can't read his rank (some sort of captain) and neither can I confirm his name.

Any help with translating both ranks and the name of the 2nd officer would be much appreciated!

Interestingly this temporary document is written on the back of some captured German paperwork!
